turn the clock back 150 years and we might go to a concert and not recognise any of the composers' names
Alice Mary Smith 1839-1884
The Masque of Pandora (1875)
Ode to the Passions (1882)
The Valley of Remorse
Ode to the North-East Wind [rather a precise wind direction]
some of which lying in the vaults of Novello & Co presumably - two symphonies recorded by Chandos apparentlyLast edited by mercia; 04-07-12, 05:42.

But then I thought it's more likely to be T for Twelfth:
Shostakovich's 12th is "The Year 1917"
Hovhaness's 12th ("Choral") includes a part for waterfall recording ad libitum
Milhaud's 12th ("Rurale") has a fourth movement with the direction Lumineux
